BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(1)Field of the Invention

The invention relates to wall and ceiling surface repair materials. In particular, it relates to a repair patch for plaster or drywall surfaces.

(2)Background

Drywall, also referred to as Sheetrock, provides a relatively inexpensive and desirable wall surface in many residential and commercial buildings. Drywall is, however, subject to having holes or indentations made therein during construction or later in use when struck by certain objects, for example, corners of furniture. The traditional approach to repairing such holes is to first fill the hole with a backing, such as newspaper, rags, wire mesh, or the like, and then to overlay the backing with a patching compound. This method has proven undesirable because of the difficulty in maintaining the backing material in place. Even in instances where a repair is completed, the repaired area remains a weak spot in the wall. Also, considerable time and finishing work is required.

It has been proposed to repair damaged drywall by circumscribing the damaged part with a uniform cutout, e.g. rectangular, and then inserting a cutout piece of wallboard of similar dimensions as the hole and holding this patch insert in place by suitable cement or by means of various spring-loaded or other devices which act on the inner surface of the opposing wall. Such repair devices require not only an opposing wall located behind the damaged wall, but also frequently require a number of mechanical parts that must be carefully secured in the proper location. Also, many times a folding patch of larger dimension than the hole to be prepared is inserted and then cemented in place while the repair is completed. In new construction work, finishing of wallboard joints requires numerous trips and hours of work by the drywall mechanic to build up the laminar cover of compound-paper-compound, and to achieve a desired finish. This finish could then be painted, wallpapered, et cetera, to hide all indications of a joint. Also, various forms of joint tape have been employed to cover the abutting wallboard edges. In all examples of prior art drywall finishing or patch kits, finishing or patch procedures, joint covering procedures, and the like known to the applicant, considerable time has been required to build up the final laminar structure. The job normally requires that the drywall mechanic make repeated visits to the job to add or sand the joint compound to make it suitable for final painting or other wall treatment. The prior art has been primarily directed toward means and procedures for filling the hole or joint, and not to providing preformed exposed surface material so as to eliminate this part of the job and to improve this aspect of the overall job. So far as is known, the prior art has not taught the concept of providing a preformed laminate that can be quickly installed, can be finished in a single operation suitable for final wall treatment, i.e., painting or the like, and in which the laminate itself provides a preformed rigid, thin laminar layer of the finishing compound that would otherwise have to be hand-troweled and finished over the hole or joint, as is customary in prior art procedures.

DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INVENTION

The following is a detailed description of example embodiments of the invention that is depicted in the accompanying drawings. The example embodiments are in such detail as to clearly communicate the invention. However, the amount of detail offered is not intended to limit the anticipated variations of embodiments. On the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present invention. The detailed descriptions below are designed to make such embodiments obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

This invention aims to provide a system and method of fast and convenient repairing of holes or cracks in a wall. According to the FIG. 1, the various components and dimensions are: in the top view, the plastic handle is of 5.881 inches, and has a width of 1.430 inches, the dimensions of the circular part of the cutter is 3.210 inches φ (outer circle), 1.500 inchesφ (inner circle) and 0.260 inches φ (circle at the center), furthermore, the push nut is of ¼ inches, the washer is ¾ inches, and the router bit is of ½ inches. Also, according to FIG. 2, which illustrates the various dimensions of the template, the outer area in square shape is of 10.000 inches in both length and breadth, and the inner area in square shape is of 6.563 inches in both length and breadth. In the front view and in the back view, the dimension of the command strips is 4.715 inches in both length and breadth. Furthermore, according to FIG. 3, which illustrates the various dimensions of the patch, the front view shows the smooth textured surface of 5.150 inches in both length and breadth. Furthermore the patch is of 1 lb/4.8 oz.

Furthermore, the maximum size to patch a hole is 8*8 inches, and the various sizes of the pre-texture patches are 2, 5 and 8 inches.

Additionally, according to the invention, it can fix a hole in the wall using a pre textured custom patch, which is ready to be painted in 5 minutes. In the beginning, the drill needs to be attached to the cutter. After this, the template is attached to the walls with the help of the command strips. Following this, the cutter uses the template guide to cut the custom hole in the surface, creating a vacuum hole of excess debris. Thereafter, adhesive is applied to the inner edge of the patch and the surface is wiped for dust and oil. The patch is then glued to the hole, and, as a final step, a touch up over the glued patch can be done if the need exists.

Although specific embodiments have been illustrated and described herein, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that any arrangement that is calculated to achieve the same purpose may be substituted for the specific embodiment shown. This application is intended to cover any adaptations or variations of the present invention. The dimension mentioned herein is an approximate value, and in no way limits the scope of the invention.
